Videos of F-Sport Intake and Exhaust Sounds
Picked up the F-Sport exhaust from Sewell for ~$850, a healthy discount over MSRP. I've had the intake for a while. Had my buddy record the video.
I did two types of runs, one where I'm taking off from a dead stop straight away from the camera, and one where I'm passing my buddy who is panning the camera as I pass.
Dead stop, run 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1dpQP-MqI
Dead stop, run 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNr0IHuJlqw
Passing, run 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA19EUg8Lpk
Passing, run 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-HTNXcuFO0
Overall impression: I can't feel a big performance difference between stock and with the new parts, but I definitely like how the car sounds. You really have to get on it to hear the intake, but the exhaust pretty much makes noise whenever you're on the gas harder than cruising speed, so at low speeds in city driving you can definitely hear it. There is no exhaust noise on the highway under cruise control, which is good because I'm on the highway ~40 miles a day.
Saw a guy in a Hummer H2 the other day by work at a light, he was in a hurry so I pulled up alongside but about 10 feet back. Light went green and I stomped it and went past like he was standing still. Pulled into the gas station in front of the office to fill up, and he pulled in as well. Saw him inside and he said I came out of nowhere and that all he heard as I was pulling away was the exhaust. He asked what I had done to the car, I told him all I did was intake and exhaust.

I think it's like 25-30% off of Sewell's already discounted prices. MSRP for the exhaust is goofy high, but for $550 off MSRP I jumped on it.
